The Loves of My Life

These two right here are the light of my life, I honestly don't know what I would do without them. My husband and I have been together for 12 going on 13 years and married for almost 5 of those years. It hasn't been smooth sailing the entire span of our relationship but has been worth every bump and struggle along the way. When you have been with someone since you were 17 years old, you grow up together. I found that to be the biggest struggle in our relationship. We went through different stages at different times in our lives making it difficult to connect with each other at times. We have been through him having stage 4 cancer at the age of 21, multiple deaths in the family, a business that took over our lives and infertility. The list unfortunately goes on but ain't nobody got time for that ;) Chris has been my rock especially through the infertility stuff and is probably the most positive person I know. He always looks on the bright side no matter the situation. It can be annoying at times but I love him for that. He has been through more than anyone I know and yet he still keeps moving forward. I don't think I have given him enough credit but he's a pretty cool guy. I like him!!

Onto Mr. Knox, our hilarious Boston Terrier who is pretty much our fur-child. He was a Christmas present from Chris a year and a half ago. I remember going to pick him out on Boxing Day. I had seen him in pictures and out of all 6 puppies I knew I wanted him. His face was almost entirely white and he looked very unique compared to the rest. When we got to the breeders house and saw all the puppies, we fell in love but something seemed off with Knox. He was acting strange as if he was a wee bit slow and walking a like he was a bit tipsy, I honestly thought something was wrong with him. He was also the smallest of them all. After another feeding and a little nap he perked up and became a little bugger. He was tugging on his siblings ears and tackling them wanting to wrestle while they were trying to sleep. At that moment I knew he was the puppy for me. I used to think people had serious issues when they would get so attached to their dog and be those crazy dog people. But I have to say Chris and myself have become those people. Dogs are the best therapy when you are going through difficult times, its an unconditional love that doesn't go away. They are happy when you walk in the door, they love you even when you are in a bad mood and snuggle you at just the right moments. 

Needless to say, these two are my world.......
